mudguards!!!!!!

Just fitted these http://www.dotbike.com/ProductsP4043.aspx and thoroughly recommend them! Easy to fit, easy to remove, fittings are unobtrusive when guards are removed and I don't have to faf around with SKS any more!

Just discovered that the bayonet fitting is available separately so can affix them to other bikes whilst only moving one set of mudguards around from bike to bike!

Hmmm...solid...no...the actual bayonet fitting that sits between the fork/seat stay and calipers is solid as is the connection to the mudguard. The mudguard itself is only supported at the connection so will flex along its length as there are no supports back to the frame as with SKS for example.

They will whip a little in strong cross winds but other than that I have no complaints about rigidity and their staying in place in line with the wheel.
